[cfe-dev] How to debug a clang plugin with Visual Studio?

[Keane, Erich via cfe-dev]

Most debuggers have a setting as to whether to follow forks or not.  GDB for example has 'set follow-fork-mode ...'

MVSC has this plugin available as a power tool to do this: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/devops/2014/11/24/introducing-the-child-process-debugging-power-tool/

Alternatively, you can do "clang <compile command> -### "to see the command handed to that child process.  You can then debug THAT instead.

Dear community,

to be more specific:

clang.exe spanws another process of it self and then loads the plugin dll.

This is a real pain to debug. Is there a clang option to ease debugging of plugins?

Any idea appreciated...

Thanks

Marcel
